What do you think of Japan?
>>768936231
Overrated in general. I like some of their media, but not their culture.
The world's creepy uncle

I thought that was Thailand.
>>768936231
The dude from Gaki no Tsukai is on daytime tv getting a telekinetic handjob? Gonna need sauce or it didn’t happen.
>>768936543
Nah, Thailand is Trapland.
>>768936344
This
living there. gonna start my fifth year.
Living is nice but working is painful, they're a bunch of absolute retards when it comes to work. they basically have 0 life. I'm doing my regular hours and come back while they just stay until 11PM at least for no real extra productivity.
ACTUAL get a life.
>>768937196
tell me more about
Weird
they're just people and just like most of humanity...they're completely out of their fucking minds.
it is true that there is no criminality in the streets?
>>768937196
most of what you consider having a, 'life' is nothing more than consumerism which in its own weird way is striking similar to being a corporate drone. so, yeah i wouldnt stroke yourself too much as it relates to your, 'life.'
>>768939110
i don't think so, your thought is lacking
Been here 8 years.
Only major problem is they can’t accept being wrong.
Usually if you try to show them logic the answer is “this is Japan. We do things differently”
It’s really annoying in a working environment
We should have nuked them all the way gone.
>>768936231
Extremely xenophobic closed culture that loves to emulate the west. Their women are either pretty or complete trolls with no buffer in the middle and the men are either over grown children or way too fucking serious about absolutely everything. I know these sound like stereotypes but after living here for the past 5 years I can say that it's the truth. Oh and last thing they think weebs are the funniest fucking thing, it's hilarious for them to "fawn" over you in the street and then make fun of you relentlessly behind your back the rest of the day. Food is shit too.
>>768939341
>there are titles in both consumerism and corporatism
>ultimately its a popularity contest as it relates to consumerism and corporatism
>you devote yourself to your image with both consumerism and corporatism
>>768939484
i know the answer to this one! did someone say, "make america great again!?"
>>768939932
Ever been on a walking date?
>>768936231
I would like them more if they became more nationalistic again.
With their dying population, and a huge age in working age citizens approaching in the coming decades, Japanese are going to have to hire foreign workers to fill the roles.
But I hope they keep their standards and only accept hardworking/Japanese speaking foreigners into their country.
Otherwise it will turn into another mutlicultural shithole, like in the west.
>>768936231
Never nuke somewhere twice.
>>768940109
this is not true for all of us
>>768939484
"we do things differently" should be their slogan I hear it at least 10 times a day
>>768939110
life in itself is EXACTLY the same as it was in the US where I also lived and in France where I grew up, you buy shit, don't go how you live your life like a hermit or some shit like that. The main difference is safety. I have english and french friends so I don't interact much with locals.
>>768936231
Have a suicide forest
Best place ever
this is what i think of japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVOz4NVv0pY
>>768939932
so, basically your average narcissism mixed in child like tomfoolery. you've just described most of how humanity functions.
>>768940415
Yeah but bump it up to 100
>>768940335
whether you're consciously aware of it or not, it fundamentally is though.
>>768939932
What makes you stand out as a Weeb in Japan? I want to visit and know I will probably get made fun of because thats just how it goes. But is there a way to avoid it somewhat?
>>768940251
Personally no but I know a friend of mine does this a few times a week. Besides I'm married.
how does japanese pussy smell? its a lotus flower flavour?
>>768938966
Graffiti is very hard to find.
Litter is almost impossibe to find.
The houses are small and have little walls and little levels and a burglar could climb all over them.
Vending machines, boxes of supplies, bikes, and the general contents of a Western garage are left in the open all night and not touched by anybody.
The police seem to have nothing to do.
>>768936231
Superior culture who just retaliated against US for nuking them in 1945.
Basically they made US a country of cucks, fags, pedos. Not that the Jews weren't unhappy with it.
>>768940304
everywhere is a shithole, just some piles of shit arent as obvious. you're one ignorant person if you fail to see what humanity has done with its accomplishments. (...and every year it gets worse, no matter your social, financial, educational, cultural background make no mistake you're a worthless monkey)
>>768940747
this is awesome
>>768939484
Well of course you can't tell them they're "Wrong".
They operate by consensus.
You'd get further by proposing "gradual improvements to the existing way"
>>768940598
Biggest thing is appearance the second is don't try and speak Japanese if you have no clue. Look up Kirsten Dunst - Turning Japanese and do none of that.
>>768940598
A word of warning; Tokyo is the only place where foreigners are considered a normal part of the landscape.
>>768940819
It's like a country full of Hank Hills seriously.
>>768936231
Japan is dumb. You go people saying that when you visit you gotta be respectful,but then they have the dumbest shit on tv and the nastiest porn.
>>768939932
>Food is shit too.
You must have been to some other Japan.
Or maybe you don't like the TYPES of food, because I guarantee the quality is excellent.
>>768940894
Osaka as well...any real major center is ok. It's when you start moving out to the suburbs that their xenophobia really stands out.
>>768940987
If you like it then you like it..personally I don't.

Is not a trend anymore. Thank god.

Lol maybe..as far as I can tell I'm the only 6'2" white man in my area.
>>768941505
do you realize 75% of pics on 4chan is either produced by Japanese or themed as Japanese?
(the remaining 25% pics are traps, gays, niggers, jews)
Just moved to Japan earlier this year to start a new job. Like any place, it isn't perfect, but so far I like it here.
The people I work with are nice to me, and they have no obligation to help me with my work, but they do it anyways. I like the food here. And there's just this inexplicable tranquility in the air, it makes me feel at ease.
However, it's hard to make friends here due to language barriers. TV shows are utterly boring. And fruit is severely overpriced. But I'm just nitpicking.
>>768936231
it's lovely
>>768940849
Sound advise, I didnt plan on going to any extreme like that music video...why Kirsten Dunst would you ever do this?
Just to clarify, doing the basic stuff in japanese (attempting to order food, thank you, excuse me etc.) is still ok right? Just not trying to pretend that you are one of them.
>>768941819
Come on japan, was that really necessary?
>>768941833
Right. Just try and be sure you know what you are trying to say. It happens alot when a foreigner thinks they know the language only to look like a fool. If they start coddling you or pretending to act like they're really interested in you be careful, you're becoming a joke to them
>>768941911
it's actually marked "To be exported to US of A".
There's a huge gayfaggotry market in the US.
>>768936231
Their genitals have too many pixels on them....
>>768942048
I'd rather look at the pixels than the wire brushes they sport down there..Asian pubes are fucking weird

Yes because spending time isolated in an office is the exact same as spending time with friends/family.
Just because you dont have a life doesent mean others dont.
>>768941819
>>768940849
This isn't really good advice. Look, unless you're Japanese-looking nobody is going to expect you to know ANY Japanese. So don't worry about trying not to look stupid, even a minimal attempt at the language will go a long way to making friends/getting around. And if you manage to learn some of the basic grammar and phrases, you'll be treated like a superstar, even in Tokyo.
>>768942036
>It happens alot when a foreigner thinks they know the language only to look like a fool
This isn't exclusive to Japan, this is true anywhere. If you're a gaijin, you're going to stick out no matter what you do, so stop stressing about looking like a fool (unless you're in middle school and that's a priority for you).
The only way to get better at a language is to try it out and make mistakes and sometimes look like a fool. My host family I lived with (in total rural Aichi-ken) continually gave me shit for times when I misspoke. But that means that they're close to you (if they're not close then they'll be polite and not say anything).
>>768942681
I'm guessing you don't live here, huh? You really have no idea how they perceive other people. Trust me trying to fit in is fine but do not expect to be treated like a super star for making a few token gestures...you will be ridiculed and harshly. I see it happen almost daily. And yeah language misshaps happen world wide but we are discussing Japan, learn to read. My advice is sound.
>>768942681
People still doesn't understand the difference between some small town in Hokkaido and the center of Tokyo. Basically two different versions of Japan - the former the better.
>>768936231
almost as retarded as america but i would still bring home a qt waifu.
>hurr durr I like $RANDOMCOUNTRY thousands of miles away
>herp derp I'll move there and then $DEMAND they gladly accept me, even if don't talk their language and don't fit in their lifestyle
